PriPara: Breakthrough

Best Friend at the Ball, What to Do?!

As usual, Louisa and Friends (as we would fondly call them) would tick us off almost every single day...

I was just hoping that one day, Louisa could have a change of heart. What is the reason behind her harsh attitude?

But I don't think any of us could answer that question at present.

"Iris! Kazue-san!"

"Hey, Erika. What's up?" I asked.

"I'm holding a Costume Ball at PriPara next week. Here. I even made invitations. Kazue-san, I hope you can give this to Charlotte, I'd like to get to know her." Erika smiled.

"Uh, y-yeah, sure." Kazue said.

I winked at him. "You got yourself something to get you busy, darling." I nudged him as I whispered.

"Shut up, Iris!" Kazue stopped me.

"Any problem, guys?" Erika wondered.

"Oh, nothing, nothing at all, Erika! I'd be happy to give this to her, though. I'm sure she'd love to be there!" Kazue patted her head. "Anything for Iris's cousin!"

"Kazue-san, please don't. It's embarrasing." Erika sweat-dropped.

"Oh, sorry. I'll stop." He said. "It's just that you're so short and pretty..."

"YEAH YEAH I KNOW YOU AND IRIS ARE TALLER THAN ME BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO MOCK ME BY CALLING ME SHORT!" Erika finally smacked Kazue in the head with her book.

"Ow, that hurt. But it can also mean a good thing..." Kazue tried to take back what he said.

"Just make sure that that invitation gets to your sister. Hmph..." Erika put on her lip gloss and left.

"Wow, just in 6th Grade but acting just like a middle-schooler." Kazue said.

"She just takes after her mama." I kidded, referring to him.

"Wowww, I don't even know her that much yet you label me her mama? Woah there, Ms. Iris." He defended.

"Just messin' with 'ya, geez." I laughed.

"Whoo! It's getting hot in here, if it weren't for two people I knew..."

"Maiko, shut up!" Kazue said.

"Kidding, kidding. Anyway, did you get an invitation from Erika, Iris?" She asked. "She invited me, too."

"Yeah, I did. And she gave one to Kazue, *ehem* to give to Charlotte. Awesome! All three of us friends are gonna be there!"

"She also invited me. Except not with my pals. I get a spot in the limelight, alone..."

"Louisa?!" We exclaimed.

"Hello, Iris, Maiko, Kazue. Surprised? Oh, silly me, why did I ask if it was so obvious." Louisa scoffed.

"Why would Erika invite you, anyway?" Kazue snapped.

"Oh, I don't know. But I'm thankful she did. She just said that it was a way of getting to know friends in PriPara. Good thing you wouldn't be there, Kazue. But I'd love to meet your sister, Charlotte. She might be a bit more, angelic. Since you basically have horns that need to be cut off." She laughed.

"If I had 'horns that needed to be cut off', then Erika wouldn't have given me the invitation." He said, arms crossed.

"Very well. I guess I'll have to see if you two have any difference." Louisa walked away.

"She's such a brat. Argh, I can't stand it!" Kazue said angrily.

"Chill. But guess what, us three friends are going to the ball! Aren't you happy that Iris, Charlotte and I are going? But it would be boring without you." Maiko pouted.
